The welcome at Teichelmann’s bed and breakfast set the tone for our two night stay, being at once warm, informative, relaxed and friendly. Brian and Frances are superb hosts, keen to help enhance their guests’ experience with their local knowledge and their knack for providing a comfortable but classy experience. The room we had in this former doctor’s establishment was very nicely appointed with a large and very comfortable bed, roomy and spotless bathroom and nice extras, including tea and coffee making facilities, in addition to the hot drinks and home baking offered by Frances in the communal lounge area. The view out over the sunny garden was lovely.
The breakfasts were delicious, home made mueslis and jams and fruit compotes, followed by your choice of cooked eggs, bacon, tomatoes and hash browns.
It was also very nice to linger over our tea and toast with Brian and Frances, and learn more about sites we planned on visiting each day.
The advantages of having your own private and very comfortable room as well as a communal sitting area and excellent breakfasts provided by very friendly hosts made the first two nights of our southern journey a highlight. Thanks, Brian abs Frances!
We loved everything about this BnB. Its location right in the heritage heart of Hokitika. it's beautiful rooms, devine breakfasts, suggestions on places to visit and entertaining stories. We were lavished with hospitality. We stayed on an extra day from planned as it was such a gem. Thank you Francis and Brian for the effort you make. Trish
We stayed with Brian and Francis when cycling the West Coast Wilderness Trail. Our room was perfect with a comfortable king size bed, heater, tv, internet access, coffee and tea facilities, and a beautiful bathroom with heated floor, powerful shower, view to the garden,and a spa. Brian and Francis were warm, knowleadgeable about the city and happy to chat. They were also kind, and offered help to dry our clothes after a day of cycling in the rain. I look forward to be back!
Brian and Frances provided a warm welcome to our family of four. We were wet with bikes, on the Wilderness Trail. They helped with our bikes, Brian very kindly cleaned them. Sorted out our wet gear and helped to warm us up with tea and biscuits. Our rooms were beautifully equiped. The beds were very comfortable. This is a lovely historic house and a "must stay" on the West Coast. The breakfast provided was of exceptional quality and all home made. Thank you so much for making the end of our little holiday so wonderful!
We picked Teichelmanns for a one night stop on our way north, if only we had known we could have planned it better and stayed longer. We were greeted warmly by Frances and Brian and they had put us in the cottage which was an added treat. Next came tea and home made cookies in the garden. After a lovely sit down with Frances and Brian we settled into the cottage which is very well appointed, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Hokitika is a nice place and after a wander we settled down for a very comfortable night. Breakfast was a treat, a real delight and then we left knowing we wanted more of Teichelmanns’s. Frances and Brian are amongst the most welcoming, friendly and kind hosts we have met during our four months in New Zealand, their accommodation is superb and we really hope to visit again.
Many thanks for this glowing review. No more guests for us now until hopefully November.When all this VIRUS stuff is sorted.We hope you are enjoying the rest of your NZ adventure, it will be one holiday to remember !!! Safe travel home. Maybe next time the train trips may happen !!!
Best Regards
Frances and Brian
